First time posting here on any kind of thread. Just going through a lot and wanted to share my thoughts and see if anyone had any insight.
I graduated with my BSN in May of this year from Central Florida. I moved to Cleveland shorty thereafter and the job market has been..less than favorable. Long story short, I had always been discouraged from entering the military by my family. However, given my current situation and this has always been a dream in the back of my mind, I decided to purse the Army Nurse Corps.
And what a whirlwind it has been. I met with my recruiter on the 28th of October. He told me that the Nurse Corps is once again close to their quota and we needed to "bum-rush" my application if we had a chance at all. In under a week, I have faxed, fed-exed, harassed professors and classmates to get my packet together. It is all finally coming together by tomorrow and my physical is scheduled for the 4th. All well and good but...
I read online that the application deadline is the 3rd. My recruiter said an exception could be made. I really hope he is right. Also, I am worried about what the competition to get in is going to be like given the economy. I don't have any RN or military experience. I guess all I can do is hope and wait.
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. I just mostly wanted to vent. Thank you.
